Mississippi Vehicle Title Guide & FAQs

Signing Your Mississippi Vehicle Title

Mississippi title transfers are straightforward, but accuracy is critical. Use a blue or black ink pen only and sign your name exactly as it appears on the title. Any mistakes can void the title.

What Will Void a Mississippi Title

• Signing in the wrong section of the title
• Signature that does not match the printed name on the title
• Cross-outs, erasing, or writing over mistakes
• Using white-out or correction fluid
• Rips, tears, or damaged titles
• Signing in the Dealer Reassignment section (unless you are a licensed dealer)
• Using pencil, marker, or any ink other than blue or black

If any of these occur, the Mississippi Department of Revenue will require a duplicate title before the vehicle can be sold.

Titles Showing a Lienholder

• Lien release completed directly on the title
• Or an official lien release letter from the lender

Without a lien release, the Department of Revenue will not process the title transfer.
